Chapitre 9: Fantastic Conversations
The day after the Doom incident, I went back to the Baxter building to talk to the Four and make sure they were OK, I was also hoping to see if I could take Doom and keep him in Oscorp.
Keep friends close and keep enemies locked in negative 100 degree freezers, wasn't that how the saying went?
Shrugging those thoughts off, I head inside the building and try to find the Four.
Logically I went to Reed's Lab first and found them there.
"How did Vic do that Reed?" Johnny was asking Reed. "And who was that Goblin guy?"
"I may be able to help you with both of those questions Mr. Storm." I say, startling them.
"Mr. Osborn! What are you doing here?" Sue asked.
"I just bought this place, Once I heard there was an attack, I wanted to make sure there were no problems." I shrug. "Anyway Johnny, in reference to your Goblin question… How do I explain him best… Goblin came around New York about a year ago. He was supposedly the person to stop the Green Goblin's reign of terror. There are a lot of rumors about him though, some serious, some ridiculous."
Pulling up a few files I had on myself, (What? I need my Goblin Persona and my Alex Osborn Persona's to stay separate, how better to do that than by acting like someone who respects yet somewhat distrusts the Goblin?) I show the team a few blurry images of myself flying through town and a few articles.
"One rumor claims he was the Green Goblin's son and that by killing him, he took over the Goblin mantle as a way to bring redemption to his father's name. I think it's just a load of crap, and he is just a vigilante who is trying to do what he can to help, the Goblin persona is probably because he found the Green Goblins stash or something." I shrug, trying not to laugh at them.
"As to Victor's Powers, he was on the same trip you were on right? The space trip? Anyway, he probably got his powers the same way you all did and simply didn't show any visible effects till later and he attempted to fight you."
The four were staring at me in shock. I knew I was only 19 in this universe, but was it really that unbelievable that I was a scientist?
Sighing in disbelief, I answer their unasked questions.
"I got six doctorates by the time I was seventeen in a variety of fields. Medicine, Chemistry, Robotics, Business, Physics, and Radiology, I know what I am talking about." I say.
Reed was the first to snap out of it as I grab a scanner from my bag.
"Oh, of course… What is that?" he asks, pointing to the scanner.
"A scanner." Is my simple reply as I scan the four.
"What does it scan?" Ben asks.
"Energy signatures." I reply as I finish my scans and plug the hand held machine into my computer. "Each of you produces a faint energy signature that is unique to you from being bathed in those cosmic waves. Personally, I want to find out how Doom can do wat he does and why you were each given different powers. By scanning you four first, I can differentiate between your energy signatures and either develop a cure for Doom, and by extension, you four, or find a way to keep him permanently trapped as a living statue."
"Don't waste your time, the only time I was able to reverse our powers successfully was when Ben turned back human. And it wasn't even me who did it, it was Victor!" Reed says.
"So what? Just because your experiment was only partially successful doesn't mean it can't be completely successful at a later date. Give me a few months. If I haven't made any progress then you can say I've told you so."
You may be wondering why I am so intent on finding a cure/weakness for the four.
Call me paranoid, but in case you haven't noticed, I am trying to find weaknesses and strengths for every hero and villain I come in contact with. If I can do that then I have a chance to actually beat them and win. With all the hero battles and civil wars in comics and then in the movies, then how many hero's actually turn evil, I want to be prepared to fight them and win.
After uploading the information from the scanner to the computer, I ask them the big question.
"I was wondering, would it be possible for me to take the bad doctor back to Oscorp? Hopefully I will be able to find a cure faster that way."
"Are you sure? He is our responsibility now that he has been defeated… I feel like his fall to evil was somewhat my fault." Reed replies, hanging his head.
"Stop guilt tripping yourself Richards, he turned bad because he was jealous of your accomplishments and his business was going bankrupt, now that they are out of a CEO, I was going to actually buy it and use their resources to further my own company. Anyway, his drop to supervillainy isn't your fault, but by letting my scientists look him over, I may be able to cure him."
He looked at the rest of the four for a moment, almost silently asking them what he should do before turning to me.
"Alright, but be careful. He can be extremely dangerous if he ever gets free. And just so you know… Thank you for everything you ae doing…" He says.
"Don't worry about it." I shrug it off. "I would hope you would do the same for me."
Looks like my plans are working out pretty well.
After asking a few more questions and getting a bit more information, I left the Baxter building and headed back to Oscorp. Time to make a few more purchases and get Doom over to my scientists.
Today is going to be a long day…
(TIME SKIP, THE NEXT DAY)
Watching TV, I can only grin as news of Tony Stark's return and his subsequent step back from the weapons industry floods every news station on the planet.
This however does cause a few of my plans to speed up. Stark's entry into the Super hero world jump starts everything in the Avengers. After him will be Hulk, Thor, Captain America getting found, and eventually… The Avengers.
Right now it is just time to step back and watch the fireworks between Stane and Stark unfold.
